What is Web 2.0?

Check out OReillynet.com this is one of the best resources on the net – in fact they coined the phrase Web2.0! This site really helped me understand why Web 2.0 is important, not only to the future of TV but, to the future of all business.

Better SEO writing for our web

We need to address our writing of slugs, labels, tags, story titles, and web posts. At the moment there is very little that is current about our 10News web presence online. I entered "kgtv 10News" into YouTube and found the following video second from the top. Ongoing and updated posts paired with better SEO writing should fix this.

Just vlog baby

Online video is great but making the conversion from TV to web requires some undersanding of video compression as well as an awareness of what your host will be able to handle. YouTube is a monster, everyone knows about it but at times doesn't look so good. I like blip.tv. It is easy to use, the player can be branded or un-branded, and the video just looks better to me. I think the tutorial at freevlog.org is a very useful tool to get started. Click here and see for yourself.
